  Description

  We are a Spanish family that have embarked on the adventure of acquiring a rural hotel. Our medium-term objective is to get the farm where we are going to live ready, so, in addition to the hotel's own tasks, we are painting and restoring some private facilities and dedicating a lot of time to our garden. We have a garden and fruit trees.
  
  It is a very ambitious project and we want you to be part of it, since we are in the most fun phase. Any idea will be welcome, we would love to make our house a place where every traveler can rest and connect with nature. We seek through the tasks we are carrying out to provide harmony to the place. With the hotel, we don't have much time for our private estate and that's why we'll be happy for you to come.
  
  You will have the opportunity to connect with nature, since three rivers pass through the area, there are monasteries and waterfalls; It is the perfect place if you are a nature lover and you like mountain sports. You can learn more about the hotel that we run and that adjoins the farm.
  
  We would love to have you for a whole month, but we also accept stays of 2 or 3 weeks.

Nuestro objetivo a medio plazo es poner la finca donde vamos a vivir a punto, por lo que, además de las tareas propias del hotel, estamos pintando y restaurando algunas instalaciones privadas y dedicándole mucho tiempo a nuestro jardín. Tenemos huerta y árboles frutales.
  
  Es un proyecto muy ambicioso y queremos que formes parte de él, ya que estamos en la fase más divertida. Toda idea será bienvenida, nos encantaría hacer de nuestra casa un lugar en el que todo viajero pueda descansar y conectar con la naturaleza. Buscamos a través de los trabajos que estamos llevando a cabo dotar de armonía al lugar. Con el hotel, no tenemos mucho tiempo para nuestra finca privada y por eso estaremos encantados de que vengas.
  
  Tendrás la oportunidad de conectar con la naturaleza, ya que por la zona pasan tres ríos, hay monasterios y cascadas; es el lugar perfecto si eres amante de la naturaleza y te gustan los deportes de montaña. Puedes conocer más del hotel que regentamos y que colinda con la finca.
  
  Nos encantaría contar contigo un mes entero, pero también aceptamos estancias de 2 o 3 semanas.
